Just 10 minutes of daily floor exercises may improve balance and agility, study finds
A new study found that 10 minutes of daily floor exercises improved balance, flexibility, and agility in participants. The exercises, performed lying on the back, linked core stability with lower-body coordination.
Researchers in Japan found that a daily 10-minute routine of floor exercises improved standing balance, side-to-side agility, and trunk flexibility. The program, performed lying on the back for two weeks, linked core stability with lower-body coordination. The study included 17 healthy young men and 22 young adults, who showed improvements in movement control and neuromuscular coordination. The exercises were built around abdominal activation, linking the trunk and lower body, and lower-extremity coordination. The researchers stressed proper technique is important to achieving benefits. The routine may be useful as a tool to improve balance and coordination, particularly in the morning.
